Review of Frozen II (2019) by Mrgreenbanana — 24 Apr 2020

Well, here we have what could've been a masterpiece held back by its goat sh*t writing. What did I like about Frozen 2? Well, the animation was astounding. This is by far the best looking animated movie I've ever seen.

The songs, in my opinion, were a big step up from the first Frozen. I actually liked multiple characters this time and not just somewhat Olaf. And that's where the praise stops. Now, what's bad about Frozen 2? As I mentioned, it's writing.

The story doesn't really feel like it has much of a conflict, which can work if done right. It also doesn’t really have a villain, which I'd definitely say is a step up from Frozen 1's 47,000,000 different villains it loved switching between.

I guess it has some form of antagonist with that dam, but I'm not so sure on that one. And the entire idea of the story, being called upon to go on a journey to learn about the past, isn't a bad idea.

So how did Disney of all people f*ck it up so badly? They make it so Elsa hears some random voice in the middle of the night that calls her to abandon her friends (who follow her anyway) and her kingdom to go on some crazy adventure because she wants to follow a voice that may have just been a crazy hallucination.

Not just that, oh no. You see, they have four elemental spirits, water, fire, earth, and wind (Avatar: The Last Airbender much?). But then they say there's a fifth elemental spirit. And you wanna guess who it f*cking is? ELSA OF COURSE! Yeah, the fifth element is ICE.

F*CKING ICE. LITERALLY JUST WATER BUT FROZEN IS THE ELEMENT THAT BINDS THEM ALL TOGETHER. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?! Ok, water and air I guess I can understand. Ice is just frozen water and air can be cold.

Earth, maybe. But fire? No. No, no, no, no, HELL no. I don't get that one even a little. Ok, got that rant out of my system. Overall, Frozen 2 could've been one of the best animated movies ever, but is held back by its unbelievably bad writing.
